How and when did you first join the stash?
I've been around a long time. I was found on Elann.com in 2000. Our Stashmistress was first discovering the online world of yarn discounts, and I was her first full-bag purchase.
What can you tell us of life before the stash?
It's pretty hazy. As I said, I came from Elann, which is a good indication I was either a mill end or a discontinued color. I arrived in a sealed package, without damage.
What's your favorite part of stash life?
Oh, definitely the friendships I've made with other stray yarns over the years. I've seen a lot of stash movement and growth...especially growth. It seems some yarns are gone as quickly as they arrive, while others are long-termers in the stash, like myself. Every once in a while we get rearranged in new bins, which gives me a chance to branch out and make new connections. It's nice to reunite with old friends I haven't been stored with in a year or two, as well.
I'm a bit bulky, which makes for warmth and cuddliness. I'm also a pastel shade, so definitely would like to spend time with girls, particularly children. I'd make a great baby blanket, or maybe even something bigger. Something snuggly. There's enough of me (6 skeins) to share the wealth, and make several smaller pieces, should the Stashmistress be so inclined. Finally, I'd like to point out that I'm 100% wool, which gives a lot of options for felting, too.
